CAPM® Exam Trainer is the ideal App to prepare for the PMI CAPM® exam. CAPM® Exam Trainer was developed by PMP® Professionals and reviewed by a former European PMI chapter official. All 815 questions (6th edition PMBOK) were developed by an experienced PMP®/CAPM® preparation trainer and are as close as it gets to the real exam questions. There are different question types such as: •Basic definitions and concepts •Process related questions (Inputs, Tools & Techniques and Outputs) next or first •Sequence of process steps (next, first) •Social and Professional responsibilities Almost every question comes with an explanation, so you will be able to fully understand which and why one answer is right. CAPM® Exam Trainer features a full training algorithm, which will focus your training on your personal needs and preferences. Each time you answer a question correctly, it will be moved to a virtual stack. There are 4 stacks and every time you answer the same question correctly, it will be moved to the next stack. Also if a question is answered incorrectly the question drops down to the beginning. (Leitner system) This will help the training algorithm to present a perfect order of questions so the question will remain in the long-term memory of your brain. In the examination mode CAPM® Exam Trainer works like the exam software used in the real exam. The following modes and features are available in CAPM® Exam Trainer: -Study Mode training algorithm (you can choose between different modes such as “Sorted by knowledge area” or “Show marked questions”) -Exam Mode -Review Mode (you can display the overall progress of your training or also the result of your last exam) Additional Features -You can skip a question anytime and look at those later -You are also able to mark questions to have a dedicated look at them later -In the study mode you can highlight keywords, so the question is easier to answer. -If you have to adjourn an exam (e.g. you do not have the full 4 hours), no problem, PMP® Exam Trainer will let you pick up your training right at the point you left it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CAPM Pocket Study at 5.0 against CAPM® Exam Trainer Light's 1.0. CAPM Pocket Study also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). CAPM® Exam Trainer Light's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (22% vs 0%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CAPM Pocket Study holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CAPM Pocket Study has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of CAPM® Exam Trainer Light's written reviews are positive against 0% of CAPM Pocket Study's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CAPM® Exam Trainer Light ships an update every 2 months, CAPM Pocket Study every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
